Managing Skills

Skills are voice-driven capabilities that enhance the functionality of your Alexa
device. Alexa for Business gives you access to all Alexa skills. To enable skills
for your devices,
you must first enable it for your organization and then add it to one or more skill
groups that are assigned to your rooms. For more information, see Managing Skill Groups.

Choose Allow next to each permission to enable it, and
then choose Save.

Note

The permission given is at the skill level. It applies to all shared
devices with that skill enabled in your organization. The permission setting
doesn't impact the permissions of your enrolled users. Users must select the
permission for themselves in the Alexa companion app. For more information,
see Enable Alexa Skills.

Choose Disable next to the skill that you want to remove,
then choose Disable.

To link a master account to a skill

Some skills require the ability to connect with a user in another system. This is
called account linking, which links an Alexa for Business account to a user account
in another
system.

When you add a skill that requires account linking, you are prompted to open the
sign-in page of the skill provider and sign in with your user account. After you
successfully sign in, Alexa obtains an access token that uniquely identifies the user
within the system. Alexa for Business applies this token to all devices that receive
your skill by
default, making this your master account. Alexa stores this token and includes it
in
requests sent to the skill provider when the skill is invoked.

If you want to link a unique account for the devices in a specific room, you can
override the linked account. For example, to use some smart home skill to control
the
lights in your conference room, you must link to the user account for that room in
the
smart home system.
